Design, Logistics, and Military-Grade Precision

Leveraging over 40 years of expertise and a discipline forged in the U.S. Navy and Army National Guard, I recently spearheaded a complex, three-part project in the Lincoln area. My background manning the flightline for the F-14 Tomcat taught me that success depends on technical precision and flawless coordination—principles I bring to every office environment I build.

This project was a significant undertaking in multi-system integration and city-wide logistics. I personally designed all three environments, navigating the unique challenges of three distinct furniture lines: Herman Miller AO2, Herman Miller Resolve, and Teknion T/O/S.

My role as an Indoff Partner was a “boots-on-the-ground” leadership position that covered the entire lifecycle of the project:

• Logistics & Relocation: I coordinated with move companies to transport the systems furniture from various buildings across Lincoln to the project site, managing the distribution and staging of parts to ensure a smooth assembly flow.

• Lead Installer (Teknion T/O/S): While I managed multiple installation crews across the sites, I personally executed the assembly of the Teknion T/O/S portion. Given the system’s high-capacity technical requirements, I took point on this installation to ensure the structural and technical integrity met my exacting standards.

• Technical Interface: I worked directly with electrical and data trades to properly balance power loads across these different systems and designate the routing for Cat 6 cabling and terminations.

• Modern Enhancements: I integrated soundproof ROOM Phone Booths to provide the necessary privacy for solo calls and virtual meetings in the modern shared workspace.

Despite the immense number of moving parts—from evaluating pre-owned inventory to managing third-party move teams and installers—all three projects were delivered on time, on budget, and with zero client-facing hitches. I don’t just sell furniture; I provide the mission-critical planning and execution that only four decades of experience and military discipline can deliver.
